Social Security

Problem: We are losing our faith that Social Security will be there for us when we need it.

Action: When I’m elected, I will introduce the It’s Your Money Act to protect Social Security as follows: 

1. No cuts, no delays, no privatization: Pass legislation that permanently locks in current benefit levels and bans creation of private Social Security accounts.

2. Everyone pays the same rate: Eliminate the payroll tax cap for high earners so all wages are taxed at the same rate to fund Social Security.

3. Protect retirement age: Pass legislation codifying the current retirement age so it cannot be raised without a new law.

4. Keep your money safe: Create a new federal oversight office to audit Social Security spending, catch fraud, and ensure funds go only to eligible recipients.
